Scalise: House would 'take action' against Gaetz if DOJ filed charges

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the No. 2 Republican in the House, on Wednesday, promised that his party and the Democratic majority would "take action" against Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) if the Justice Department was to file "formal" charges against the Florida lawmaker related to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Scalise, the House Minority Whip, told reporters at a news conference that he had yet to speak to Gaetz about the reports and said that lawmakers "want to get the facts" on what transpired.

Gaetz is the subject of a Justice Department investigation also involving his close associate, former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, which has resulted in numerous charges for Greenberg so far including sex trafficking of a minor.

Gaetz has repeatedly denied the allegations.

No Scalise the GOP will play the CYA game.

1. No they won't...

2. The only action they will take is to keep Gaetz away from THEIR daughters.

We already know they don't care about other people's children.

3. Sure, he says that now

But when charges are filed, he will then pivot to some combination of "innocent until proven guilty" and "politically motivated prosecution" and Gaetz will remain on all committees.
